I was looking for trouble, I was looking for pain.
lord knows it didnt take long for me to catch that train.
I walked on the highway, I walked in the sun.
lord knows im a peace lovin man and i sure dont want to hurt no one.

(chorus)
take a walk on the highway, to catch a ride on a train.
take a walk on the highway, to catch a ride on a train.

met this girl with the big brown eyes, her hair was a tumblin down.
the greatest poet i ever met the way her tongue caressed the sounds.
intertwined in wine she danced as her mind began to play.
she stumbled the rapids and openned the ocean and when she came she had nothing to say except.

she loved life, but knew that everybody dies.
she loved life, but knew that everybody dies.
she loved life, but knew that everybody dies.
she loved life, but knew that everybody dies.

I walk with a cane, this is how i get around,
directed by the wind, and the rain thats coming down,
symbolism and philosophy this is what i understand,
the birds and bees and the tall willow trees and the treasures beneath the sands.
